@article{Islam_Hossain_2013, title={Mortality Rate of Fish Seeds (<i>Labeo rohita</i>) During Traditional Transportation System in the Northwest Bangladesh}, volume={5}, url={https://banglajol.info/index.php/JSR/article/view/10572}, DOI={10.3329/jsr.v5i2.10572}, abstractNote={&lt;p&gt;This investigation deals with the mortality rate of fish seeds (&lt;em&gt;Labeo rohita&lt;/em&gt;) during traditional transportation system; to evaluate the effects of loading density with time scale under different water medium; temperature effect with relation to fry size and oxygen consumption; and the effect of saline water bath before transportation. Mortality rates were significantly increased with time scale and loading density under different water medium. Higher mortality was observed at 400 g L&lt;sup&gt;-1&lt;/sup&gt; loading density (river water 82%, pond water 70% and tubewell water 67.5%) than at 200 g L&lt;sup&gt;-1&lt;/sup&gt; and 300 g L&lt;sup&gt;-1 &lt;/sup&gt;loading density after 24h. Oxygen consumption rate increased signi?cantly with increasing temperature and decreased significantly with increasing fry body weight. Therefore, mortality rate could decrease (22%) if fish fry are bathed in saline water before journey and tubewell water can be use as a medium for long distance transportation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Keywords&lt;/em&gt;:&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;Mortality; Fish seeds; Oxygen consumption; Transportation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;© 2013 JSR Publications.
